Rising Nakshatra Masculine Nativities Agneya * Riksya * Karthika * Alcyone BPL commentary For Krittika births of a masculine valence, the condition of radiant, romantic, intelligent, creative, idealistic, central, confident, gaming, self-reflexive, pitrikaraka Surya may considerably affect the outcome. For those born into the splendidly Surya-ruled paradigm of Riksya, father-figures, politicians, celebrity, royalty, entitled roles, brilliant dramatists, radiant deities, sparkling genius, glittering creativity, intelligentsia, speculators, poets, romantic lovers, gamblers, and game-players may be especially influential. Instructional guidance provided by emissaries from the civilizations of the Pleyades. Their purpose is confidence-raising and light-bringing in creative pursuit of values fulfillment. Radiant Certainty Agneya-born gentlemen are often found in politics, in gambling and speculation, or in creative finance. Natural dramatists, Riksya-born are brightly idealistic and self-directed seekers of attention. .... Vrishabha-Urisha-pada-2-3-4 express the tension between two-party bargainer Shukra versus one-party autocratic singular nakshatra-pati Surya. Often the intelligence of pada 2-3-4 is focused into the Values-fulfilling sectors of banking and finance, natural resource conservation, music, wines and perfumes, arts, and beauty. Depending on [Yogakaraka] Shani ruler of 9+10, the Vrishabha pada of Krittika have a stronger propensity toward government positions. Themes of self-importance, individual entitlement, creativity, and confidence may contextualize Krittika's terrestrial experience. Applies also to Chandra in Krittika-Pleyades |

Prominent Features of the Nativity
Surya * pitri-karaka (father) * jyoti-karaka (light)
FATHER Dad was a slave-plantation owner = Surya-rules-4 farming. Dad also practiced skilled carpentry = Shani drishti into Surya practical skills. Although socially he was a member of the aristocratic planter class Surya-Mesha [uchcha] , Dad's agricultural plantation was not profitable. Ketu-9 also suggests an absentee father. The same difficulty would beset James, who inherited and purchased considerable farms and slaves. Yet, James was so often absent Surya in bhava-12 from the settlement that his properties were mismanaged and he fell into debt (also rogesha uttama Shukra lux tastes cause debt). James Monroe inherited his fathers' slaves and deeded plantations. However, while James was performing executive and diplomatic roles for the New Nation, his land-holdings and his slaves were not well-managed, and eventually they cost him more than they produced. MENTOR and ADVISER Surya-Mesha [uchcha] activates 11 = friends, mentors * Friends in High Places Monroe was a protégé of the fiery, dominating, shrewdly strategic, and aristocratic leader, POTUS-03 Declaration of Independence 1743-1826 Thomas Jefferson = [uchcha] Shukra-11. The elder Jefferson was 15 years senior in age to Monroe 1780 until 1783, after the Revolutionary War ended, young Monroe studied law under Jefferson . While serving as USA ambassador to France, Monroe and his wife Elizabeth Kortwright became close friends with the family of France-Emperor 1769-1821 Wars Napoleon Bonaparte when their daughters attended the same school. Chandra * matrikaraka (mother) * garha-karaka (village)
MOTHER and PARENTS Little is known of James Monroe's mother. Chandra in Pūrvāṣāḍhā-Apah in bhava-3 as karmesha would suggest that mom would have been literate , philosophical, sentimental, musical, and a capable manager. The compatible 5-9 angle between Surya-Mesha-7 and Chandra-Dhanus-3 suggests that Monroe's parents were well suited to each other. Although both his parents died before he finished high school, Monroe's early childhood during Surya Mahadasha and Chandra Mahadasha would have been stable and powerfully influenced by the harmony between his parents. MARRIAGE partnership emotional equity support expectations Kuja * bhratru-karaka (brother) * virya-karaka (virile)
CAREER - MANGALa yuvati-pati-7 activates 10th-from-10th [nīcha] Kuja-yuti-Rahu in karmasthana-10 * powerful career in advising and agreement-making during contentious time of history [nīcha] Mangala activates bhava-12 containing his [uchcha] Surya - a classic indicator of foreign political agency - vicissitudes of isolation in distant lands, social invisibility, imprisonment, inaccessibility, incapacitation, retreat into the imaginary, events in private rooms esp the bedroom As a foreign diplomat (lagnesha Shukra) in the crucial early years of the newly formed United States of America, POTUS-05 James Monroe engaged in constant literary correspondence and attended countless meetings, presentations, soirees and salons. yuvati-pati-7 + dhanapati-2 Mangala in bhava-10 * Kuja-yuti-Rahu marks Monroe as a passionate, somewhat reactive and highly politicized revolutionary with a gift for exotic arrangements and decisive leadership. Monroe was a fervent revolutionary fighter in youth and severely wounded in a battle against British troops. Monroe was age 18-25 during his Mangala Mahadasha During Kuja-Kuja svabhukti Monroe dropped out of college and joined a military training camp. He spent the first half of the seven-year Kuja Mahadasha fighting in the American Revolutionary War. Kuja-yuti-Rahu was ready, willing, and able to fight as an officer, due to Rahu-10. [nīcha] Kuja gave Monroe a special talent for the guerilla tactics favored by General POTUS-01 American Revolution 1732-1799 George Washington. Monroe's fierce fighting in several famed battles, including near-death from a cut artery during Mangala-Rahu bhukti, won him a lifelong honor as a patriot. Kuja activates -7 occupies 10 = honor (10) for fighting [Kuja] for a cause of justice (7). Death of son Three children; two daughters survived. Shani-5 gets drishti of [nīcha] Kuja Budha * jamayah-karaka (sibling) * sandeza-karaka (message) * zisya-karaka (student)

CAREER - BRIHASPATI Guru activates Meena Svamsha Shukra * svadu-karaka (sweet) * kalatra-karaka (wifely companion) lagnesha for Urisha indriya-lagna
CAREER - SHUKRa In adulthood, Monroe held several diplomatic posts to foreign courts representing the fledgling USA. Empowered lagnesha Shukra = alliance-crafting diplomat, consensus-building governor, Yet, in 6 indicates situations of constant conflict and hypocrisy. Monroe reduced the most egregious levels of political partisanship during his presidency 1817-1825. He undertook long meet-and-greet tours of faraway New England and built understanding between the mistrusting Calvinist individualist with the Southern planters, known as Era of Good Feelings Monroe's leadership career involved constant contact with the violent circumstances of the French Revolution and the carnage of the American War of 1812 (French-and-Indian War). He did have some personal problems, but he died a natural death and was never assaulted despite functioning in some quite violent environments. Shukra-11 earnings, awards for work accomplished -- but also Shukra activates 6 = financial imbalance. Monroe struggled with colossal debt from over-spending on entertainments during diplomatic assignments. Mainly historians opine this was a result of Elizabeth's craving for a French haute courtier style. Despite having inherited valuable slave plantations, he was almost always in some degree of financial distress. He sold most of his land holdings to satisfy the debt, and died insolvent. Rogesha Shukra [uchcha] in bhava-11. POTUS-05-pair 1768-1830 La belle Americaine Elizabeth Monroe was a known beauty. She supported her husband's career. Yet, By the time he reached elite governance ranks, she was too sick with a seizure disorder (believed to be epilepsy) and related ailments to host her husband's presidential entertainments. She remained sick in bed while her daughters hosted the many required parties. Monroe had his own lifetime health problems lagnesha-Shukra, starting with a cannonball injury from the war, plus an ill wife, and lifelong financial insolvency . Lagnesha [uchcha] Shukra-11 contributes to debt None of his many government posts were salaried. Following the Roman model, only the wealthy elite were expected to govern the Republic. Like his peers, Monroe received some Congressional subsidies for entertaining and transportation, but in the end, he was not wealthy enough to fund the entertainments, costumes, wigs, and other fine accouterments that he and Elizabeth preferred (kalatrakaraka Shukra wife). [uchcha] Shukra-11 loves luxurious large musical parties, public art, and fine architecture. But Monroe's responsibilities took him away from the slave-farms so often that his extensive land holdings failed to produce a net profit, and he did not in truth possess the funds required for the level of luxury that he presumed. Lagnesha Shukra also rules debt-6. Monroe suffered ongoing debt related to extravagant entertainments in the conduct of diplomacy, even while Shani-10 produced a lifelong career of (overall) responsible governance. Shani * duro-karaka (endurance) * jara-karaka (years) [svabhava] [svakshetra] [Shatataraka-2 mūlatrikoṇa] [Yogakaraka for Urisha indriya-lagna]
CAREER - SHANI dignified, executive, responsible Shani in Bhava-10 rules
James Monroe held a long series of executive and diplomatic appointments in the rulership of the New Nation. However, JM's authority was occasionally invalidated. Washington essentially fired him. Monroe was removed from his post in France. When JM was Virginia Governor, the slaves especially hated him and targeted him.
His personal fortunes fluctuated radically. Monroe inherited a significant wealth from slave-powered agricultural plantations He held distinguished positions of national leadership and was respected as a capable leader yet occasionally recalled from posts due to his outspoken views * Yogakaraka * Śaśaka Yoga Shani has considerable strength in mulatrikona Kumbha. Shani drishti into [uchcha] Surya-12 overseas diplomacy Shani in 3rd-from-Chandrra can be associated with depression. Shani-5 is a yogakaraka ruler of 4-5 who gives slow accomplishment in political environments via patience, repetition, and neutrality. However, shani-5 does not permit gameplaying financial speculation, excessive amusement, or intellectual enjoyment of politics. Shani is being constantly harassed by drishti of [nīcha] Kuja. Political realities of war and finance for the new USA, which delayed the imposition of orderly economic systems, created ongoing frustration for man-of-principle Monroe. He was obliged to engage with the world of glamour and bright entitlements, but his political and financial life was more focused on damage control -- much less on having fun. Rahu * rajyalobha-karaka (ambition) * picchala-karaka (slippery)
CAREER - RAHU Pushya-Rahu-Karkata yuti Aśleṣā-Mangala-Karkata [nīcha] provides a continuous high-energy ascent to privilege and importance [Rahu] from Monroe's age 26 until age 52. Career fraught with tension and complaint, despite solid ability [nīcha] Kuja and Rahu are both enemies of Shani = both reside in 6/8-from-Shani. Monroe's public reputation and credibility suffered from the permanent tension between his drive to conversational process management = Kuja-yuti-Rahu-3 versus his sober, mature capacity for top-down executive overview Shani in Bhava-10
The combined Mangala-plus-Rahu era (25 years) occurred when he was young and somewhat impulsive. It produced too much volatility overall and bred mistrust of both Washington or Jefferson. This extended 25-year ascent to highest visibility public office began with his aggressive Revolutionary War heroism. The combined Kuja-Rahu schedule ended with his return from foreign service, under criticism from POTUS-01 American Revolution 1732-1799 George Washington for over-reaching [Rahu] regarding Monroe's vigorous support of the French Revolution The USA was supposed to remain neutral, but cant-let-go guilt-master [nīcha] Kuja-yuti-Rahu can get over- excited about holding on to established [Karkata] bonds. It was only Monroe's early 50's when the Guru Mahadasha began that Monroe obtained higher positions, starting with Governor of Virginia and escalating continuously afterward. After the end of Rahu Mahadasha, Monroe's capability for sustained mature governance= * Śaśaka Yoga yogakaraka Shani-10 = began to dominate his career. However, it is said that George Washington died from getting on his horse in a snowstorm when he was already sick, in order to go cast his vote against Monroe. Rahu gives effect of maraka Kuja-rules-7 Monroe ended life quickly after onset of his Shani-Budha bhukti, Following his wife Elizabeth's death, he was in severe debt. At the end of a lifetime of service to his nation, Monroe was crippled by sickness, widowhood, and poverty. Elizabeth died an invalid in 1830. Soon afterward, Monroe died in NYC from heart failure (Shani-5) and tuberculosis on 04-Jul-1831 (age 72) in the home of his daughter .\ RAHU-SHANI bhukti lave uprising citation Arthur Scherr, "Governor James Monroe and the Southampton Slave Resistance of 1799," Historian; 1999 61(3): 557–578 and Douglas R.

Rising Nakshatra Feminine Nativities Mrigashirsha * Mraga * Marga-ziraza * Agrahayani * Ena-ziras BPL commentary For Mriga-shiras births of a feminine valence, the condition of kinesthetic, direct, yang-energy, forward-pushing bhratru-karaka Mangala may considerably affect the outcome. Brother-figures, warriors, hunters, athletes, dancers, champions, challengers, inventors, explorers, dis-coverers, engineers, drivers, drillers, diggers, exploders, aggressors, pursuers, and competitions and battles may be especially influential. Instructional guidance is provided by the civilizations of Orion. Their purpose is to promote engaging, instinctive messages that conquer, compete, startle, stimulate, pioneer, and provoke. Kuja-ruled Mriga-zirasa ladies tend to be physically fit, agile, energetic sportswomen and dancers. They are often found in politics, entertainment, and commerce, especially in sales, marketing, and advertising roles where their energy delivers competitive advantage. Mraga are surprisingly accurate markswomen, able to handle weapons if necessary. They often have an interest in metalcraft. Agrahayani ladies may have a special affinity for quadruped animals, brothers, and soldiers. Due to the crystalline structure of their noses, Mraga-born have an exceptionally acute sense of smell. Vrishabha-Urisha pada 1-2 represent the 7-12 angle and the Shukra-Kuja attraction. Pada 1-2 pursue gracious arrangements, match-making, and brokerage in secluded environments, such as the private bedroom or in distant lands. Their goal is the formation of vitally valuable partnerships. Depending upon [Yogakaraka] Shani ruler of 9+10, Urisha pada-1-2 of Mriga have a stronger propensity toward governance roles. Mithunaya-Dvamdva pada 3-4 represent the 6-11 angle and the Budha-Kuja tension. Pada 3-4 are vocal socialites skilled in conflict intervention, and natural ministers of aid. Pada 3-4 may focus on community activism, economic profits, and service to the wounded (whether the wounds are physical, mental, or emotional). Themes of forward movement, group activity, and sporting competition contextualize Mriga's terrestrial experience. Incoming drishti from Kuja can mobilize their progressive, pioneering actions. Also applies to Chandra in Mrigashira-Invaka |
QUOTATION from Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra, p 91 "Usually this person is born in a wealthy family or at least well-to-do.
She is an entertaining and interesting speaker
If she adopts a public career, she will be successful and honored. She is fond of beautiful clothes,
Her favorite color is green."
